Super fab dancer, Connor Cole from Ann Arbor, is coming to Cleveland for one night only! He will be running the show at the Slovenian Swing Dance on Saturday, February 25th!  The Waterloo Ballroom at the Slovenian Workmen's Home is located in the very artsy and lively Collinwood neighborhood. The address is 15335 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, Ohio 44110.

Dance lessons? Yes!  From 8-9 you can expect Connor to school you on some super spiffy beginner-friendly jitterbug and side by side Charleston.

The pre-event dance lessons are appropriate for brand spankin' new dancers all the way up to advanced dancers. You will not be disappointed!

Come to dance, to learn, to listen, to socialize! This event is a party with fun music and dancing!

Immediately after the fantastically fun dance lesson (at 9 PM) Connor Cole will kick off an awesome night of DJed music until 12am.

The cost of this DJed dance is $10 per person and $5 for students and seniors with a valid ID. $5 for first timers. 

No need to make reservations or buy tickets in advance. 

We have some of the biggest swing dances in the area with over 150 people attending each month. Attendees have a variety of dance experience (including none) and come from all walks of life and ages. You will not need to bring a dance partner. We rotate partners during the dance lesson. How often do you get to meet 50-100 new people in under an hour? We provide the highest quality swing dance instruction from some of the nicest, most patient people you will ever meet. Our staff includes regional, national and international swing dance competitors (and winners) in multiple swing dance forms. 

We welcome anyone to join us who has an interest in dance, music, socializing and fun. We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :)

We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has a gritty earthiness that is incredibly empowering and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us.

Attire is anything from casual to dressy. The best shoes to wear are comfortable and will allow you to pivot and turn easily. 

The Slovenian not only has a beautiful ballroom; they also have a well stocked bar. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds for sale--including a very special Slovenian beer- Lasko! There will also be some sweet and savory snacks for sale as well.

The sign for the Slovenian has been taken down so please look for the sign for Packy Malleys. Our entrance is just to the left of them. There are TWO parking lots to the right of the ballroom and there is also some street parking as well. We also have a security guard who keeps an eye on the hall and both parking lots.
